daily reminder that it took lispfags TWO MONTHS to produce a 30+MB executable of a barebones text editor

They were a collection of lolcows and literal paid shills for VMS. None of that shit had any real meaning and I have no idea why it was dug back up.

x86 assembly. not that it's good but because everything uses it. C LARPers will sound like faggots once you do this

They're the gateway to faggotry, self harm, and suicide. Get clean. Need a version of this image tailored to tech.

These messages are between these supposed "shills." Why would shills shill to people they knew were shills?

It was like any "grass roots" shit today like "I need feminism because" signs. Some are lolcows, some are normalfags, some are "as a white man, I..". These weren't walled-off communities, mailinglists and newsgroups (and write/talk) were the main ways we communicated and were more like reddit. Shilling was in high gear at that time and every tech community around the date of implosion of UNIX is full of it.

Either Python or Scheme is a good place to start. Scheme has a more minimal syntax, which will force you to think about things on a fundamental level. People who studied other languages find recursion difficult, but that's not a problem for lispers. Python has more libraries, which will demystify a lot of seemingly complex tasks for you. That's huge motivation to somebody just getting started.

I started with Scheme personally, but I don't think you'd be wrong in choosing Python

Whatever you do, do not start with C, C++, Java, C#, Ruby, Javascript, Common Lisp, or Haskell. You should learn some of them eventually (especially C and Haskell) but they are not nearly as valuable to beginners as Scheme or Python are.

All of those languages are from Xerox. It was probably the Xerox Star or the Xerox Alto.
